Truck Town Thunder-Team 68

[Lauren Bendes]

Ken-

As a memeber of Truck I would love to sahre some of our community service ideas with you and youre team. Over the past year we have done things such as holding a car wash and donating the money to a charity and cleaning up yards for various community buildings. Truck pulls members from 10 different schools in 8 different communities and thus we have a wide range of area to work with. We have also volunteered time working school fairs, reading nights, and family fun nights at local elementary schools. My favorite community outreach that we do is put on robotics demonstrations at the elementary schools. We bring our robot, a video of the FIRST game for that year, and usually what our robot was used for (such as with 2002's game we brought a goal and a few balls) We also do fun things that involve the children and relate the complex aspects of the robot to things that they understand. They love realizing that they too can build what is in front of them. We usually also promote FIRST Lego League since that is the age range that we are reaching out to. Thats just a few if you have any questions feel free to ask...
